Project Background & Challenges

Boulder Creek Inn, a hotel nestled in the mountainous community of Donnelly, Idaho, faced severe roofing issues due to the region’s extreme winter weather conditions. The existing roof had significant leaks and damage from years of exposure to heavy snowfall, ice accumulation, high winds, and hailstorms. The hotel’s owners needed a durable, long-lasting roofing solution that could withstand the area’s harsh winters and hot summers. Additionally, budget constraints and minimal business disruption were key factors in planning this project.

Challenges Faced

Severe Weather Conditions:

Donnelly Idaho can experience snowfall of up to 20 feet in a single day, along with ice dams, hail, and high winds exceeding 100 mph.

Structural Stress:

Snow and ice created excessive weight on the roof, leading to damage and leaks.

Business Continuity:

The project needed to be completed quickly to avoid impacting hotel operations.

Materials & Roofing System Installed

To ensure the new roof would provide superior protection and longevity, we selected Malarkey Vista Architectural Shingles, a high-performance roofing solution known for its Class 4 hail impact rating, 130 mph wind resistance, and sustainability through the use of recycled materials

Additional materials included:

Arctic Seal Ice & Water Shield – Provides enhanced protection against ice damming and leaks.
Secure Start® HT Underlayment – A premium metal underlayment for added durability.
Malarkey Smart Start Starter Shingles – Ensures better adhesion and wind resistance.
Easy Ridge & High-Profile Roof Ridge – Enhances the finished look and ventilation.
Snow Country Vented Ridge – Optimizes attic ventilation and energy efficiency.

Installation Process & Execution

Project Timeline: 7 working days
Crew Size: 12 skilled roofers
Safety Measures: Given the height of the building (2-3 stories), our team followed strict OSHA safety protocols, including harnesses and fall protection equipment.

Step-by-Step Execution:

Day 1-2: Manual tear-off of the existing roof, with debris carefully hauled away.
Day 3-7: Installation of new underlayment, ice and water shield, and Malarkey Vista shingles.

Results & Client Impact

Enhanced Protection & Durability: The new roofing system provides leak-free performance, superior wind resistance, and ice protection to withstand Donnelly’s extreme weather conditions.
Instant Aesthetic Upgrade: The roof gave the hotel an immediate facelift, improving its curb appeal.
Client Satisfaction: The owners were thrilled with both the price and the efficiency of the installation. The new roof has remained in excellent condition for over 5 years with no reported leaks.
Increased Business & Referrals: Thanks to the success of this project, we received multiple referrals for additional roofing jobs in the area.

Key Takeaways & What We Learned

Weather-Resistant Roofing is Critical: In high-altitude mountain environments, choosing the right materials is essential for long-term performance.
Speed & Efficiency Matter: Completing the job quickly without compromising quality minimized disruptions to hotel operations.
Safety First: Working on a multi-story building in a challenging climate reinforced the importance of strict safety protocols.

Living in windy Mountain Home Idaho we have some crazy windy weather over fall of last year we had some work down on our roof by a company I would rather not speak of do the work (big mistake), but needless to say, the kind of just put a Band-Aid on the booboo instead of taking the time to fix said issue. I had heard about All County Roofing from a coworker, and she HIGHLY recommended them. So I called and spoke to this super nice and very informative employee, and she told me they'd squeeze me in because of the winter months coming up. To my surprise she meant it, I received a phone call later that afternoon from a gentlemen Kyle, I believe he was in the neighborhood so wanted to swing by. Kyle seemed very shock at the band-aid list job he made a phone call and about a hour later I have a team on my roof fixing said issue. I am so thankful because that night I had to flip over my grandchildren's trampoline, as I was afraid it was going to fly away. I cannot express how truly grateful I am this company was able to help me out with my issue and was just so informative and answered all my old lady need to know it all questions heehee!! So thank you so much All County Roofing and especially you Kyle I really appreciate all you do! This company is one of the best and I will forever spread the word. So if you need any repairs or a band-aid booboo fixed these are your guys!!

Whether you need roof repair or replacement, All County Roofing provides quality, efficient service for a fair price. Following wind damage to our roof, All County responded within 24 hours with a bid. Their entire crew was great to work with, paying meticulous attention to every detail, including the careful demo of three layers of old roofing material, installation of new fiberglass shingles within 72 hours, leaving our property cleaner than they found it, including the gutters! We couldn’t be happier with the quality and look of our new roof, not to mention the value it adds to our home! We strongly recommend All County Roofing for your next project.

We were having the house exterior painted. Our painter pointed out that he noticed that a roof vent plumbing tube flashing (plastic) deteriorating. I called All County Roofing since we are supposed to be getting a lot of rain within 24 hours. They were able to send a roofer out about 45 minutes after I called. As it turned out. I had 7 bad vent tube flashings bad. Grateful for the fast, professional service!
